The present disclosure further provides a method for testing a crack in the display panel. The display panel 10 has been described as above, and details therefore are not described again.

The method for testing a crack in the display panel 10 includes following steps: firstly, a turn-off voltage is inputted to the switch 17 to make an open circuit between the first ground connecting portion 13 and the first end 121 and between the second ground portion 15 and the second end 122. Then, confirmation can be made if the ground line 12 is broken by measuring a voltage, a resistance, or a current between the first testing portion 14 and the second testing portion 16. Finally, it can be inferred if a crack occurs on the display panel 10.

If a crack occurs in the display panel 10 during a cutting process, the ground line 12 will be broken. By measuring a voltage, a resistance, or a current between the first testing portion 14 and the second testing portion 16, it can be confirmed if the ground line 12 is broken. Then, we can infer if a crack occurs on the display panel 10.

When the voltage is measured by a voltmeter, the voltmeter is electrically connected between the first testing pin 142 and the second testing pin 162. When the measured voltage is zero, an open circuit must occur on the ground line 12. Therefore, it can be confirmed that a crack occurs on the non-display area 11 b. On the contrary, when the measured voltage is within a predetermined range, the ground line 12 works normally. Therefore, it can be confirmed that a crack does not occur on the non-display region 11 b.

When the resistance is measured by a resistance meter, the resistance meter is electrically connected between the first testing pin 142 and the second testing pin 162. When the measured resistance is infinity, an open circuit must occur on the ground line 12. Therefore, a crack is confirmed to occur on the non-display area 11 b. When the measured resistance is within a predetermined range, the ground line 12 works normally. Therefore, a crack is confirmed not to occur on the non-display region 11 b.

When the current is measured by an ammeter, the ammeter is electrically connected between the first testing pin 142 and the second testing pin 162. When a current is measured by an ammeter, the ammeter is electrically connected between the first testing pin 142 and the second testing pin. When the measured current is zero, an open circuit must occur on the ground line 12. Therefore, a crack is confirmed to occur on the non-display area 11 b. On the contrary, when the measured current is within a predetermined range, the ground line 12 works normally. Therefore, it is confirmed that a crack does not occur on the non-display region 11 b.

After finishing the test, when the ground line 12 is normal and a crack is decided to not exist in the non-display region 11 b, the control circuit is turned on by the switch pin 173, the control circuit inputs an open voltage to the switch 17 to electrically connect the first ground connecting portion 13 with the ground line 12, and to restore the ground line 12 to a ground function.

The present disclosure provides a display panel and a method for testing for an occurrence of a crack in a display panel. The display panel includes a panel body, a ground line, a first ground connecting portion, a first testing portion, a second ground connecting portion, a second testing portion and a switch, the panel body includes a display region and a non-display region, the ground line is disposed in the non-display region and surrounds the display region, the ground line includes a first end and a second end, the first ground connecting portion and the first testing portion are parallel connected to the first end, the second ground connecting portion and the second testing portion are parallel connected to the second end, the switch is electrically connected between the first ground connecting portion and the first end, by measuring a voltage, a resistance, or a current between the first testing portion and the second testing portion, when the voltage is zero, the resistance is infinity or the current is zero, an open circuit is decided to exist in the ground line and a crack is decided to exist in the non-display region, thereby the difficulty of testing for an occurrence of a crack in the display panel is reduced.
